Die Studie rekonstruiert die Entstehung und die Transformation des Begriffs ,Heimat' vom späten 18. bis zum frühen 20. Jahrhundert. Sie durchläuft dabei unterschiedliche Diskursfelder der Religion, des Rechts, der Pädagogik, der Volkskunde und der Philologie, räumt aber der Literatur für deren Verknüpfung und für die Konstruktion, die Apologese und die Kritik der Heimat eine besondere Stellung ein. This study reconstructs the term and concept of "home," from its traceable origins until the early twentieth century.Literature, here, has acted as a continuous point of reference for the German discursive fields of religion, law, pedagogy, and ethnology: as a medium for the affirmation, confusion, and passing on of social ideas, as well as a site where discourse is constructed and the semantics of home readjusted.

"This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by the Wellcome Trust. Genomic technologies have had a profound impact on understandings of what it means to be human and our links to the world we inhabit, and on practices of inhabiting the world. This book considers this impact across a range of literary forms, cultural practices, and political imaginaries, and argues that new descriptions of biological value introduced through practices of genomic sequencing from the late 1970s registered a broader crisis of narrative form. Examining a wide range of texts by Doris Lessing, Samuel Delany, Boris and Arkady Strugatsky, Kir Bulychev, Kazuo Ishiguro, Saidiya Hartman, Yaa Gyasi, Svetlana Alexievich, and Jeff VanderMeer, Narrative in the Age of the Genome casts new light on the intersections of genomics with politics of racism, sexuality, labour and gender, neoliberal economics and environmental crisis."--

The winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Elfriede Jelinek, has decisively shaped the development of literature over the last 50 years and has repeatedly expanded the 'space of the possible'. This study reconstructs the most important stages of her development from the first novel to the 21st century and profiles the innovativeness of her literature against the background of the literary field. The aesthetic genealogy of the author is thus made comprehensible anew. Die Literaturnobelpreisträgerin Elfriede Jelinek hat die Entwicklung der Literatur in den letzten 50 Jahren entscheidend mitgeprägt und den ‚Raum des Möglichen‘ immer wieder erweitert. Die vorliegende Studie rekonstruiert die wichtigsten Stationen ihrer Entwicklung vom ersten Roman bis ins 21. Jahrhundert und profiliert die Innovativität ihrer Literatur vor dem Hintergrund des literarischen Feldes. Die ästhetische Genealogie der Autorin wird so in ihrem Zusammenhang neu nachvollziehbar gemacht.

"The period since the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 has seen a sustained decrease in violence and, at the same time, Northern Ireland has undergone a literary renaissance, with a fresh generation of writers exploring innovative literary forms. This book explores contemporary Northern Irish fiction and how the 'post'-conflict period has led writers to a renewed engagement with intimacy and intimate life. Magennis draws on affect and feminist theory to examine depictions of intimacy, pleasure and the body in their writings and shows how intimate life in Northern Ireland is being reshaped and re-written. Featuring short reflective pieces from some of today's most compelling Northern Irish Writers, including Lucy Caldwell, Jan Carson, Bernie McGill and David Park, this book provides authoritative insights into how a contemporary engagement with intimacy provides us with new ways to understand Northern Irish identity, selfhood and community."--
